Abstract

The aim of the work is to study the differences in the severity of negative experiences associated with certain aspects of the internal picture of the disease in children undergoing inpatient treatment for respiratory tuberculosis (RT) and children with leukemia, as well as in different age groups of children with RT. Sampling and methods. The study data are presented on a sample of patients aged 5 to 13 years (N= 42, 9 boys, 33 girls), divided into subgroups of 5—7 years, 8—11 years and 12—13 years. The technique of “Unfinished Sentences” by V.E. Kagan and I.K. Shatts was used. At the first stage, the level of negative experiences was compared between groups of children with RT, with leukemia and healthy children (using data from the I.K. Schatz study), at the second stage — in different age groups of children with RT. Conclusions. The results showed a higher level of negative experiences in the group of children with RT due to the absence of severe symptoms and, as a result, difficulties in understanding the need to stay in the hospital. The factors of negative experience in children of different age groups were revealed. Conclusions are formulated about the need to take into account age-related features and the specifics of the disease when developing psychological support programs.
